[Verse 1]
Fmaj7                             Dm7
  Girl I know you think that it's me you're hurtin'
     Cmaj9
By denying me the right, take part in his life
Gm7                           C9
That ain't fair to him and it just ain't right
Fmaj7                         Dm7
  And I know you think that I don't deserve it
    Cmaj9
But for our child's sake, don't make this mistake
      Gm7                     C9
Don't make him choose between us

[Pre-Chorus]
Fmaj7                         Dm7
Oh, remember the words that I told you, yeah
                                Cmaj9
He's gonna resent you when he's older
              Gm7                      C9
And trust me, you don't want that kind of pain
     Fmaj7                                       Dm7
(No, no, no) He's a part of me that you know you can't deny
                       Cmaj9
And baby no matter how hard you try
                            Gm7
When you look at him you'll see me in his eyes

[Chorus]
   C9             Fmaj7
It may seem right now
                     Dm7
But soon you'll find out
                Cmaj9
Just who you're hurting babe
                  Gm7
Now let me see my child
  C9            Fmaj7
Before it's too late
                     Dm7
His heart fills with hate
             Cmaj9
We've got to work it out
                  Gm7   C9
Now let me see my child___

[Verse 2]
Fmaj7                             Dm7
  You can't tell me he don't ever ask about me
        Cmaj9
Can you tell him the truth, about me and you
   Gm7                           C9
Or will you tell lies cause it's easy to do
Fmaj7                        Dm7
  You have to know that it's not a game
        Cmaj9
'Cause, I'm here to stay, this child bears my name
Gm7                       C9
My blood runs through his veins

[Pre-Chorus]
Fmaj7                            Dm7
  Just because you and I weren't happy
                                     Cmaj9
Doesn't change the fact that I'm his Daddy
                     Gm7                  C9
So swallow your pride, he needs me in his life
Fmaj7                            Dm7
  See I need him as every bit as much as you
                               Cmaj9
So just try to put yourself in my shoes
                      Gm7
'Cause if you were me what you do

[Chorus]
   C9             Fmaj7
It may seem right now
                     Dm7
But soon you'll find out
                Cmaj9
Just who you're hurting babe
                  Gm7
Now let me see my child
  C9            Fmaj7
Before it's too late
                     Dm7
His heart fills with hate
             Cmaj9
We've got to work it out
                  Gm7   C9
Now let me see my child___

[Bridge]
Dm7             A7sus2
  Now I know we both have regret
        Dm7                       Am7            Abm7 Gm7
For the sake of that boy, lets forgive and forget
      C7             Fmaj7          Em7
And I know that it's easier to fight
         Dm7                              F/G          G/A
But just look at him, you have to see the thing we did right

[Chorus]
                  Gmaj7
It may seem right now
                     Em7
But soon you'll find out
                Dmaj9
Just who you're hurting babe
                  Am7
Now let me see my child
  D9            Gmaj7
Before it's too late
                     Em7
His heart fills with hate
             Dmaj9
We've got to work it out
                  Am7   D9
Now let me see my child___

[Outro]
Gmaj7                 Em7
Child, let me see my child
                Dmaj9
I got to see my child
                           Am7        D9
You're hurting him, you're hurting him
Gmaj7
Child, he needs me in his life
Em7
Child, I gotta show him how to be a man
Dmaj9
Child, I gotta see him, I want to see him
Am7               D9
Child, let me see him
                 Gmaj7
I want to see my child
Em7                     Dmaj9 Am7 D9 Gmaj7
Child, I got to see him
